Would love to see update on their patented batteries they are working on…
“…. Further development and testing will be required before it is able to be considered for implementation in publicly available applications.
Rapid Charging.
A typical, current EV battery can take well over 6 hours to charge as most EVs have a limitation on the maximum current that their battery can safely accept. The majority of EVs use AC charging Mode 1, Mode 2 or Mode 3, utilizing an onboard system which converts the AC to DC for charging the battery. The fastest EV charging mode is 4 which goes up to 350KW, which is not yet widely available.
A well-known EV company’s superchargers provide power at a max of 150KW, and depending on certain variables, can charge an 85kWh battery to 100% in roughly 75 minutes. Our ESU, at EV scale, can accept the level of the current from a 150KW charger to charge the ESU from 0% to 100% in roughly 20 minutes or less. At 250KW, which will be provided in the “V3” supercharger network, the ESU can be fully charged (0% – 100%) in roughly 14 minutes. As in typical circumstances an EV battery level is rarely found at 0%, the real world charging time to 100% would be significantly reduced from these times, and require no new charging infrastructure.
Range.
A Tesla Model 3 has an EPA estimated range of 353 miles/charge (1). Our ESU, with all variables set as equal, would provide a minimal range of 430 miles, representing a significant increase and reduced cost/mile/charge. As ‘range anxiety’ is a central complaint of current and prospective EV owners, such a significant increase would almost certainly push more consumers into the EV space, with obvious benefit to OEM manufacturers utilizing our technology.
Total Battery Life.
Conventional batteries, such as those used in existing EVs today and those being produced and put into new EVs coming off of the production line, have an average lifespan of roughly 10,000 cycles (charges and discharges). Our ESU, at EV scale, has a lifespan of 60,000 cycles, or roughly 30 years – meaning a single unit will likely outlast the automobile it is powering. We consider this a stunning data point…..”
If you haven't learned yet, most posts on a message board are in the writer's opinion. All of my posts are in my opinion (IMO)......do your Due Diligence (DD) and make up your own mind!
